Cloud tears

[D-Green 12]

Hi 

Dies anyone know why there are straight    lines cut through clouds.  Seems to be getting worse.

When I read the title to this thread, first thing I thought was *rain*

They've been there since the sim launched. seems not everyone gets them but I see them a lot. Why they are there? Your guess is as good ad mine I'm afraid.

They seem to be getting worse. It was once per flight but now a lot per flight.

I don't see them, or I did not understand what you mean. Could you post a screenshot?

I don't have an image sharing account any more, so until someone else posts an image, imagine looking at a cloudy sky where it looks like someone has taken and impossibly large and wide knife and sliced right down through the clouds. You can often look down through the slice and see the ground below.

Or, put another way, it's like getting a parcel where the flaps aren't touching, and you get that straight line gap under the clear tape.

OK, I understood now... no, I am not seeing this, occasionally I see piercings / transparent or black or white cuts in the mountains.

Anyway you don't need an account, you can use on the fly image hosting services such as https://postimages.org/ It supports CTRL+V too.

Yep, I get that.  I think it causes pauses or frame stuttering as well occasionally.  The black steps across the runways also did this and caused terrible performance for me, but I haven't seen any of those for a while. 

Flagstaff Airport used to be a bad one for the black steps across the runway, but it is all fixed up now.  It seemed to get fixed when they fixed the spikes, so might have been related to that bug.  Performance is great there now, so that is one place I can fly!

That is what I thought when I first saw it!  Aren't cloud tears just rain?  LOL!

Oh!  The ambiguity of the English language.  I think we need some of the symbols other languages use to show the difference.  I vote for 'Téars' for when you cry, as the word looks more dramatic like that!

Very good 109. Call me Roy 😉 

Isn't this whole line through horizon/ clouds thing and grainy issues a DX12 issue?

From what I've been able to glean, they built certain elements to be DX12 ready - and none of us have it obviously. . .but when we do...these issues will vanish (One hopes)?
